Still haven't gotten my pay 😕 It's in the damn cloud somewhere. Had to transfer money out of my kids bank accounts to cover direct debits. I feel deeply ashamed.
There’s no shame, it’s keeping the water and lights on that they also use and you’ll pay it back.
I’m wondering if Mr P is contributing to the household expenses. Because now would be a great time
Edit: I found this for emergency help with essentials, fingers crossed your pay comes through soon but if not https://ndh.org.au/debt-solutions/emergency-assistance/
Thankyou!
